For this to be possible, we must usher out the rigged rules, attitudes, and practices that concentrate wealth and power in fewer and whiter hands, and usher in ways of living, working, and making decisions together that nourish communities for this generation and generations to come.

Nexus’s programs nurture those relationships and the community resilience we need to weather the volatility and uncertainty we are facing. Each Nexus program is a distinct, yet interconnected, piece of our organizational strategy–we support people and communities to build wealth, deepen their leadership, and tend to their own well-being and the well-being of those around them. Together, they help us return to restorative and nourishing ways of living, owning, and leading:

• ROOT (Reclaiming Our Own Time) is providing resources, support, and spaces for rest and restoration for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color movement leaders.
• The Open Road Fund is returning money directly to Black folks so they can build something long-lasting for themselves, their families, and their communities.
• The North Star Black Cooperative Fellowship is bringing together worker-owners of Black-led cooperatives to live into a future of Black wealth.
• The Boards & Commissions Leadership Institute is equipping people historically shut-out from governing—Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), women, queer folks, disabled folks, low-wealth folks, and other historically marginalized and oppressed people— to serve on city, county, metro and state boards and commissions.
• The Shared Ownership Center @ Nexus is changing the face of ownership through worker cooperatives, real estate investment cooperatives, and other shared ownership models.
